Re: NT VDMS (was Re: windows drive letter mapping - CAE)

Hi Tom,

It's been too long -- what was a shared vs private VDM?

Without knowing the difference, I just started up 8 DOS sessions, and
according to NT Task manager, each has a separate PID, and uses 1204K.
Anything more specific I can try?

what I remember in NT plus create as many private VDMs as it wanted at a
time, each with a completely separate setup. How many concurrent VDMs can NT
have?
